SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No'. 505,245, dated September 19, 1893.

Application tiled June 5,1893. Serial No. 476,597- (NO model-l .T0 @ZZ whom t may concern,.-

Be it known that we, JAMES D. FOSTER, of Ironton, in the county of Lawrence, and CHARLES A. HAMMEL, of Findlay, in the county of Hancock, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Stoves and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures oli' reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in stoves or heaters, which burn hydro-carbon oils, or other similar liquid fuel.

The object of the invention is to provide an improved construction of the same whereby a very high degree of temperature is attained.

Our invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts, hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, is a central longitudinal sectional view of a heating stove, constructed in accordance with our invention. Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5, are detail views of parts of the burner. Fig. 6 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of the burner.

In the said drawings, the reference numeral 11), designates the fire pot, and 2 the ash pit or In the present instance we have shown what is known as an egg stove, although any other form may be employed in connection with the Located in the ash pit or box is a rectangular plate 3, which is removable therefrom. On its upper side this -plate is formed with a series of beveled segments 4, which form inclined Ways for similar segments arranged on the under side of an annulus or ring 5, the arrangement being such that when said annulus is rotated in one direction it will be elevated, and when rotated iu the opposite direction it will be lowered. Lugs 6, are secured to the lower segments to prevent lateral displacement of the annulus. The annulus is also provided with an upwardly extending flange 7. Seated upon this annulus convex oil receptacle 8, provided with an upwardly extending peripheral iiange, 9. lt is also formed with a number of openings 10, to admit air for supporting combustion. llhis receptacle is also formed with a central opening 12, and a boss 13.

The numeral 14, designates a pipe leading from an oilreservoir or tank to said receptacle.

Located in the lower part of the fire pot 1, and secured thereto by means of lugs 15, is a disk 16, having a central opening 17, to receive the upper end of boss 13. This disk 1s somewhat smaller in diameter than the fire pot, and on its upper side is formed with a number of depressions or recesses 18, to receive legs 19, of a circular plate 20 which 1s thus supported above said disk.

The operation is as follows: The plate, 3, the annulus and the oil receptacle are inserted in the ash-pit or box, and the annulus rotated so as to elevate it and cause the oil receptacle to abut against the lower edge of the fire-pot. Oil'is now turned on and ignited in the said receptacle, the openings 10,. admitting the necessary air to insure combustion. The tiames and products of combustion will escape upwardly around the periphery of disk 16, when they will meet and combine with a current of air coming in through the central opening in 12, and boss 13, which air-current is deflected toward the periphery by the plate 20. By this means an intense heat is created, and the temperature of the tire pot is raised to a very high degree. It will be noted that the flange of the oil receptacle engages with the outside of the fire pot, so that any oil splashed upon the sides of the latter will be caught by said receptacle, instead of falling down into the ash-pit.

While we have shown Vthe inclined or beveled segments as the means of elevating the oil receptacle, we do not wish to be confined thereto, as other devices may be employed for effecting the same object. By rotating the annulus in a reverse direction the oil-receptacle can be lowered and removed from the stove for cleaning and other purposes.

Having thus described our invention, what We claim is- 1. An oil burner for an oil burning stove, consisting of an oil receptacle having a central opening, and a boss, a series of air open- IOO ings outside of said boss, a disk located above said oil receptacle having a central opening with which said boss engages, and a deflecting plate, substantially as described.

2. In an oil burning stove, the combination with the iire pot, of the flanged oil receptacle having a central opening and a boss, a series of openings outside of said boss, a disk located above said oil receptacle having a central opening With which said boss engages, a de fleeting plate, and means for elevating and lowering said oil receptacle, substantially as described.

3. In an oil burning stove, the combination With the fire pot and ash-pit, of the plate located in the ash-pit, provided with a series 0f beveled segments, the rotatable annnlus having similar segments engaging therewith, and formed with a peripheral iiange, the oil receptacle having air openings and a central opening and boss and the disk and deflecting plate, substantially as described.

ln testimony whereof We affix onrsignatures in presence of two Witnesses.
